Use the REQUEST SAMPLES option to request recently awarded (funded) grant proposals from the grantor agencies. Since in most cases applying for and getting a federal grant or loan is a competitive process, you can use a recently funded grant proposal as an example of effective proposal writing and as a source of useful information and guide. The wizard helps you prepare a request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA request) for awarded grant proposal related to a selected federal program on your list. To make the FOIA request more specific (click here to read the full text of FOIA), the Wizard asks you to select an applicant type offered for this program. When completed, you can generate and print your FOIA request, which then must be mailed to the FOIA Office/Officer (the address is generated automatically) responsible for providing access to the records of the federal agency, including recently awarded grant proposals for the program of interest.
Using REQUEST SAMPLES option helps you create the following documents: Letter of Request under FOIA for Sample of Awarded Grant Proposal
